## Devpost submission (written by the team)

### Inspiration

We went on a trip to Mexico where we got to visit a casino for the first time together. Since we were new to the game, we all played with our phones out—checking the optimal way to play, analyzing our hands, and even trying to count cards. When we later saw the Meta Ray-Bans, we immediately thought about the possibilities of using the camera and mic to give you real-time, optimal move suggestions!

### What it does

Ventiuno takes in a live feed from the Meta Ray-Bans and detects when and where cards are present. Using the recognized cards and the information about previously seen ones, it calculates the best move for you in real time. The recommendation is then sent directly through the headset’s built-in speakers.

### How we built it

We designed a custom computer vision pipeline that segments the image based on detected cards, then crops, flattens, and enhances each one before passing it into a small vision-language model (VLM) for fast card recognition. Once the cards are identified, we use K-Means clustering to assign each card to the correct player’s hand. The system keeps track of the overall game state and combines previous cards with standard blackjack heuristics to determine the optimal move at any given point.

### Challenges we ran into

The pipeline—from video feed to audio suggestion—had to be both very fast and very accurate. Initially, we tried to run everything through a VLM for convenience, but it wasn’t fast enough. We switched to a modified YOLO model for card segmentation, which greatly improved speed. Another major issue was perspective: existing poker/card recognition models perform well from a top-down view but struggle with natural angles. To fix this, we implemented a “flattening” step—grabbing the card’s corner points, unwarping it into its original rectangle, and then passing it into a lightweight VLM for identification. We also used multi-threading in Python to parallelize recognition and drastically reduce latency.

### Accomplishments we're proud of

We’re proud that Ventiuno works end-to-end—from real-time card recognition all the way to audio feedback. It’s been tested extensively and even accounts for edge cases like splits, doubles, and other game situations. The final result is a robust, fully functional solution that’s ready to be used in any blackjack setting.

### What we learned

We learned a lot about computer vision and how combining classical CV techniques with modern AI models can massively improve both speed and accuracy. At first, we assumed we could just throw everything into a VLM, but incorporating preprocessing steps like perspective correction made a huge difference. We also learned how powerful multi-threading can be for real-time inference—it helped us process video frames, audio output, and model predictions simultaneously with minimal delay.

### What's next

We’ve already trained and tested our CV + game analysis + audio system on recorded footage from Meta Ray-Bans. However, we ran into some issues setting up a live stream from the glasses. We’re currently waiting for the official Meta API (coming later this year) to fully integrate real-time video input. Once the API is released, we plan to port everything directly onto the glasses and extend the system to other games—starting with Heads-Up Poker.

# Real-time Computer Vision Blackjack Strategy Advisor

A real-time blackjack strategy advisor that combines computer vision, AI-powered card detection, and Game Theory Optimal (GTO) decision-making to provide optimal play recommendations. Features hands-free operation via AirPods, live camera feed processing, and text-to-speech announcements.

## Demo

This system enables hands-free blackjack strategy analysis in real-time. Position your camera over a blackjack table, press your AirPod or spacebar to capture the current hand, and receive instant GTO recommendations via visual display and audio announcement. The system detects cards using computer vision, analyzes the game state, and provides mathematically optimal moves based on proven basic strategy.

**Key Features:**
- Automatic card detection from camera feed using Roboflow object detection and Claude Vision API
- Real-time GTO strategy recommendations based on dealer and player cards
- Hands-free capture using AirPods media controls
- Text-to-speech move announcements for eyes-free operation
- Live web dashboard for real-time results visualization
- Advanced card counting with Hi-Lo and Hi-Opt II systems
- Kelly Criterion-based betting recommendations

## Screenshots

The system includes three main interfaces:

1. **Live Dashboard** (`http://localhost:8080/live`) - Real-time display of detected cards and optimal moves with color-coded recommendations
2. **AirPod Control Page** (`http://localhost:8080/control`) - Safari-based interface for media key detection enabling hands-free capture
3. **Camera Feed Window** - OpenCV window showing live camera feed with capture controls

Example outputs are stored in the `card_captures/` directory after each capture session.

## Technical Architecture

### System Overview

The application is built using a modular architecture with the following components:

**Backend (Python/Flask)**
- Flask REST API server for strategy calculations and live hand updates
- Real-time card detection pipeline using computer vision
- GTO strategy engine implementing basic strategy matrices
- Card counting module with multiple counting systems
- Text-to-speech integration using macOS `say` command

**Computer Vision Pipeline**
- Roboflow Inference SDK for card object detection
- Anthropic Claude Vision API for card classification
- OpenCV for camera capture and image preprocessing
- Perspective correction and image enhancement algorithms
- K-means clustering for spatial card grouping (dealer vs. player hands)

**Frontend (HTML/JavaScript)**
- Real-time dashboard with server-sent events for live updates
- Safari-based media key detection for AirPod integration
- Responsive card input interface for manual testing
- Color-coded move recommendations (Hit/Stand/Double/Split/Surrender)

**Integration Layer**
- Shared trigger mechanism using file-based inter-process communication
- Callback-based camera capture system
- Thread-safe hand state management

### Core Algorithms

**Card Detection:** Multi-stage pipeline involving object detection, classification, spatial clustering, and suit stripping to extract card ranks.

**GTO Strategy:** Implements standard blackjack basic strategy using lookup tables for hard totals, soft totals, and pair splitting decisions.

**Card Counting:** Tracks remaining deck composition, calculates running count and true count, implements Illustrious 18 index plays, and provides betting recommendations using the Kelly Criterion.

## System Requirements

- **Operating System:** macOS (required for text-to-speech and AirPod integration)
- **Python:** 3.9 or higher

```markdown
# 🎧 AirPod Trigger Setup Guide

## Overview

The system supports triggering camera capture using your AirPods! However, due to macOS limitations, we need to set up a keyboard shortcut mapping.

---

## 🔧 Setup Method (Recommended)

### Step 1: Configure Your AirPods

1. **Open System Settings** → **Bluetooth**
2. Click the **(i)** button next to your AirPods
3. Under **Press and Hold AirPods**, set your right AirPod to:
   - **"Play/Pause"** or **"Next Track"**

### Step 2: Map Media Keys (Two Options)

#### Option A: Use Built-in Media Control (Easiest)

Your AirPods send play/pause signals that macOS recognizes. The system is already configured to listen for these!

**How it works:**
- Press right AirPod (configured as play/pause)
- System detects the media key press
- Camera captures automatically

#### Option B: Use Keyboard Maestro (More Reliable)

Download **Keyboard Maestro** (free trial or paid):
1. Create a new macro triggered by **"Play/Pause" key**
2. Action: **Press "F13" key**
3. Our system will detect F13 and trigger capture

This method is more reliable for gaming/real-time use.

---

## 🎮 Alternative: Simple Keyboard Shortcut

If AirPod setup is complex, just use:
- **SPACE bar** - Works perfectly, very responsive
- **F13 key** - Can be mapped to any external button

---

## ⚙️ Current System Status

**What's Working:**
- ✅ SPACE key capture (always works)
- ✅ F13 key support (configured and ready)
- ✅ Camera window display
- ✅ Card detection
- ✅ GTO calculation
- ✅ Text-to-speech announcements

**AirPod Integration:**
- Framework is built
- Requires `pynput` library (has macOS compatibility issues)
- Alternative: Use Keyboard Maestro or similar tool to map AirPod → F13

---

## 🚀 Quick Start Without AirPods

If you want to start immediately without AirPod setup:

```bash
cd /Users/sharanvamsi/full-workflow
source venv/bin/activate
python3 live_card_detector.py
```

Then just press **SPACE** in the camera window to capture!

---

## 💡 Recommended Workflow

### For Best Experience:

1. **Use SPACE key** for now - It's instant and reliable
2. **Wear AirPods** for audio announcements
3. **View live dashboard** on second screen/phone
4. **Keep camera window in focus** for quick SPACE presses

### If You Really Want AirPod Trigger:

1. Install **Keyboard Maestro** or **BetterTouchTool**
2. Map AirPod press → F13 key
3. System will auto-detect F13 and capture

---

## 🔍 Technical Details

### Why AirPods Are Tricky:

- AirPods send **media control signals** (play/pause)
- macOS handles these at system level
- Apps can't directly intercept without special permissions
- Solution: Map to a keyboard key that apps CAN detect

### What We Built:

The `airpod_trigger.py` module listens for:
- Media play/pause keys
- F13 key (alternative trigger)
- Space key (always works)

### Why Installation Failed:

`pynput` requires C compiler and PyObjC which has compatibility issues with Python 3.9 on newer macOS versions.
